SPIDER ALERT!
IMPORTANT: Always ensure that the venturi burner tubes are clean. A venturi burner tube has a narrow area in which spiders tend to build nests.
If you notice that your grill is getting hard to light or that the flame isn'tas strong as it should be, take the time to check and clean the venturi's.
Spiders or small insects have been known to create "flashback" problems. The spiders spin webs, build nests and lay eggs in the grill's venturi tube (s) obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. The
To prevent flashbacks and ensure good performance the burner and venturi assembly should be removed from the grill and cleaned •before use whenever the grill has been idle for an extended period.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembiy or if you have froubie igniting griii.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A)Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Runthe hook through each burner tube several times.
(B)Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not
use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube several times.
(C)Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
7.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
8.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
9.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
